This post is to ensure that our browser on our PC's/Mac is hardened so it cannot be exploited. I am sure many of you here must be knowing the tools listed below, these are just my 2 cents guidelines.
Whatever browser you use, I prefer Mozilla Firefox but I know lots of you use Chrome. Please install these tools. Since I have not posted in the forum earlier, I cannot post links. It looks like I should have written atleast 10 posts in this forums inorder to post links hence I am unable to post links to the download the tools below.
1. Install "ADBLOCK PLUS" from chrome store or Mozilla's addon's website after it installs it opens up an a new browser window with options - ensure you switch ON everything. - This basically blocks all advertisements from any page you browse making your interface clean.
2. Install "HTTPS EVERYWHERE" from Electronic Frontier Foundation website - this enforces your browser to use HTTPS (Hyper Text Transmission Protocol Secure) strict secure protocol while transmitting your web traffic.
3. Install "Site Advisor" from from chrome store, if you use mozilla you must download it from McAfee's website- this is a tool from McAfee that warns, blocks you from visiting a malicious webpage.
4. This tool has to be installed on your computer. This is called "Malware bytes Anti Exploit" and can be downloaded from Malwarebytes website - This tool further locks down our browser and controls who access system files. THIS IS NOT A ANTIVIRUS, meaning you will have to run a separate antivirus software apart from this tool.
The tools 1-3 are browser extensions(tools), 4th one is a software to be installed on your computer. All of them are free of cost.
